What happens when a dispute erupts in the midst of a business contract?  How do you resolve a San Diego contract breach quickly and cost-effectively?  A business contract dispute or breach of contract is disruptive to the flow of profitable business, and can affect not only the profitability of your company but relationships with other vendors and customers as well.  Resolving a business contract dispute quickly requires extensive legal skill, experience and expertise.  The business contract dispute attorneys at the Watkins Firm have served the San Diego business community for decades.  We understand not only the legal aspects of contract law and business litigation, but the business relationships and important transactions that the contract governs.  We work quickly to establish productive negotiations, find common ground and develop a “work-around” or resolution to the contract dispute so that the transaction or relationship can move forward.

Time is money.  This is a business fact.  We remind our clients that business focus is what makes real money.  The ability to remain intently focused on the aspects of your business will directly impact your profitability year-in and year-out.  A business contract dispute distracts you from the primary focus required to run your business, and diverts valuable time and resources that could and should be allocated to other business objectives.

The principles at the Watkins Firm are not only experienced business attorneys, we are small business professionals as well.  We understand the value of good business relationships, and that issues arise from time to time.  When an issue threatens the viability of a business contract and a breach of contract seems imminent, we work quickly to develop a thorough, well-documented chronology of events, assess associated damages and develop the leverage necessary to gain the undivided attention of the other party.  Our decades of contract dispute negotiation and resolution experience has revealed a principle that guides our firm:

Leverage, negotiation, and legal skill are the keys to resolve a San Diego contract breach quickly and cost-effectively

Pro-Tip: “What are damages? This is the central question when working to resolve a San Diego contract breach quickly and cost-effectively. When I advise my clients, I tell them the most important item in litigation is not whether you are liable or they’re liable, or somebody breached. I say the three most important things in a lawsuit are: damages damages damages.

And I say, it just like location, location, location, because it’s that important in the type of damages you can obtain are so varied that if you focus on whether you’ve been damaged under the law, there will be a statute or a case that says you are entitled to those damages. So if you track it backwards from I lost a hundred thousand dollars in this deal and how you lost it on those facts and what you did lose, you’ll probably find 99% of the time, a statute or a law or a case or something that gives you a remedy, a right to those damages and how you can collect.

Damages are what the law can afford you in a civil case. In a criminal matter, the law can afford you incarceration of the offending criminal, but in a civil matter, since your contract and your agreement was mostly about money, then you get money back. And the only time you don’t just get money is when it’s a case where a law will afford you an injunctive or provisional remedy, which is for unique types of damages and unusual circumstances.” – Dan Watkins, Founding Partner
